Article says the camp has been there for a century, and the water washed away the cabin while the girls were asleep… Sounds like climate change to me. Even though the building is surely newer, they’d know where the river had risen to in the past.
Great! If you haven’t already, shower and text her you’re clean and available, although of course you understand if she’s busy right now.
Always keep at least three days worth of drinking water in your home, a gallon per person per day. So many emergency situations, large or small, can make water unavailable or unsafe. Having filters is also helpful, but you need actual full bottles on hand. For less plastic, go with the big bottles, you can drink from cups. And OP could have washed pits and crotch at least using some of his drinking water, since it’s not citywide so he could buy more on the way home from coffee.
That one made me snort!
Honestly, it’s a huge unexpected step from “meet for coffee” to “come shower in my apartment.” Or depending how you worded it, you could sound like you’re just trying to bail on getting together. Just because you’re not lying it’s not necessarily believable, especially in a dating context. Maybe try again when you’re done dealing with this and clean again.
Once you’ve cooled it and applied polysporin, you should put a bandage to keep from smearing off all the polysporin onto your clothes and keep it clean. If you don’t have a bandage that clean long sleeve will do, but it might get a greasy mark you’ll need to treat later for laundry: try rubbing in a dab of Dawn before laundering it.
Bear in mind, it may randomly start hurting and feeling burny again later, because the nerve endings hate burns. Cold water will help again. Fridge temp is fine, helps numb it without causing ice damage.
We did also get a reminder from our Congressperson today that fireworks aren’t just illegal and dangerous to the user, they can cause devastating wildfires. Which we don’t need any more of. Agreed, but what about the dumpster fire over there where you work, Representative?
“Please read carefully before using the product”
Let’s stop calling them super. “The grotesquely wealthy” is more accurate.
The Onerous Bloated Billionaire Boondoggle
Ain’t no MAGAs running to the field or up the ladders to take these hard jobs at any price.
The Onerous Bloated Billionaire Boondoggle
Agreed! I plan on using “the grotesquely wealthy” from now on, it conveys my visceral opinion of them.

FDNY indicates it’s in the US, so they’re googling: “What’s the nearest hospital that’s in my health insurance network?”
Also notice how the long distance, chaotic distribution, and heavy aid boxes force families to self-select their strongest person, who would also be most able to put up a fight to defend their family. Then the IDF is gunning them down when they’re in the chute, leaving starving women and children that are easily disposed of.
I’m not saying it was any actual kid, that’s just the only reason I could imagine being possibly justified.
Yes making jam is easy in a small amount like this, but canning it so it’s shelf-safe is a whole process.
Maybe he’s shy
Sleep deprivation can make people do stupid things. Also a baby can sometimes demand all your attention so you forget everything else.
It’s nice that this turned out to be a safe situation!
(And also that there wasn’t a bomb in those bags, just possibly a used diaper.)
